Exercise Description

The pull up on angled bar exercise builds serious lat strength and width. It hits your back harder than regular pull-ups and creates that V-shape everyone wants.

How To

1. Grab the angled bar with hands wider than shoulder-width, palms facing away 2. Hang with arms fully extended, core tight and legs straight 3. Pull your chest toward the bar by driving elbows down and back 4. Keep pulling until your chin clears the bar on the pull up on angled bar 5. Lower yourself slowly back to the starting position with control

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire pull up on angled bar movement • Pull with your lats, not just your arms - think about driving elbows to your back pockets • Don't swing or use momentum - control every inch of the movement • Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top for maximum back activation

Common Mistakes

• Swinging your body or using momentum instead of pure strength on pull up on angled bar • Not going through full range of motion - dropping too early or not pulling high enough • Letting shoulders roll forward instead of keeping them pulled back and down during the pull up on angled bar
